With the growth of the EV industry, the adoption of lithium-ion batteries is growing exponentially. It is estimated that 500,000 metric tons of used lithium-ion batteries would be generated by 2020 in China alone. The number is further expected to increase to 2 million worldwide by 2030. Rising use of lithium-ion batteries in EVs creates an opportunity for its recycling. A large number of these batteries contains significant valuable metals as well as other materials, which can be processed and reused. However, in the current scenario, a very insignificant amount of these batteries is recycled. For instance, as per the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation in Australia, 2–3% of these batteries are sent for recycling. Also, the recycling rates in the US and the European Union are below 5%. Previously, the majority of the effort to enhance lithium-ion battery recycling was carried out by a limited number of academic groups, usually functioning independently. However, the scenario has started to change with a number of research institutions, governments, and EV manufacturers focusing on the recycling of these batteries. Several start-ups are now commercializing innovative battery recycling technologies. Also, several EV battery manufacturers and recycling companies have started collaborating to handle the forthcoming issue.

The use of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries has become dominant in several applications, including consumer electronic products, electric vehicles, military, and industrial applications attributed to advantages related to energy density and product durability. Several governments across the world are taking initiatives to find innovative ways of lithium-ion battery recycling. For instance, in 2017, the UK government announced to spend USD 315 million for supporting the development of new battery technologies over the next four years through Faraday Challenge for battery research. Under this, the University of Birmingham is seeking innovative ways to recycle lithium-ion batteries. The US Department of Energy (DoE) has also taken initiatives to support the recycling of lithium-ion batteries. The DoE has announced the ‘Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Prize,’ which emphasizes the identification of new ways to recycle lithium-ion batteries fused in various applications. Many other countries have already mandated legislation for the recycling of batteries. The regulation and bodies involved in the recycling of lithium-ion batteries include European Union Batteries Directive, GRS Batterien Foundation (Germany), The Japan Battery Recycling Centre (JBRC), and NEV battery recycling regulations (China). Such initiatives taken by governments across the world to reduce the impact of lithium-ion battery disposal on the environment are expected to boost the lithium-ion battery recycling market. Also, with the rising concern for environment pollution, government and battery manufacturers are now more focused on considering the recycling of these batteries. Thereby, bolstering the growth of lithium-ion battery recycling market.


Global Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Market: Regional Overview

The lithium-ion battery recycling market is broadly segmented into five major regions—North America, Europe, APAC, MEA, and SAM. Asia Pacific region held the largest share of global lithium-ion battery recycling market. The region comprises several developing economies, such as China, India, and other southeast countries as well as developed economies, such as Japan. The government bodies in the region are taking initiatives to promote use of electric vehicles with an aim to lower harmful impact of gases, such as carbon dioxide, on environment. China, Japan, and South Korea are among Asian countries using electric vehicles at a high rate. With growing procurement of electric vehicles in Asian economies, the scope of lithium-ion batteries would proliferate, thereby influencing the scope of lithium-ion battery recycling market as well.
